And another special kind of goodie, taking the same modern-classical suite, only this time by actually playing antique, vintage instruments into a modern framework - the exact opposite of Fjellström's approach. As Plinth modestly explains it in liner notes:

All music within is sourced from the creaking, winding, piping, chiming and wood-knocking of Victorian parlour music machines. Recordings were sourced from vinyl, cassette archives, internet resources and my own recordings 2004-2005.

Not a joke and not some cheap collage either - think of Colleen's last on Leaf with much more variety: gramophone, organs, music boxes, bell machines chopped, mixed and recontextualized - something like ambient music from another era. It could sound strange to some, but most of times extremely pleasant and alluring. Just awesome. Bring a pillow if you want.
